Best ways to use Feather in Standard?
Standard Deck Help forum

Hey, love deck building, wanna build a Feather, the Redeemed deck for standard.
I was thinking jeskai, as Dive Down is broken for her. But I can't think of too many great cards to run, any suggestions?

Samut's Sprint also. This and the above card reads: pay or draw a card and get a bonus. This is on each players turn.

Best type of thing I've seen so far is using Tenth District Legionnaire , Dreadhorde Butcher or Dreadhorde Arcanist plus all the best pump spells and just trying to win asap. I've had a go at jeskai angel tribal with Dive Down s. Haven't had much success but my deck isn't exactly optimal. There might be something to be said for running cards that have a lower opportunity cost such as Ral's Outburst , Hypothesizzle or even jaya's greeting(http://mythicspoiler.com/war/cards/jayasgreeting.html) in a more midrange grindy shell.

Dreadhorde Arcanist + Feather, the Redeemed
This could be a good engine in a Boros pump deck

Sheltering Light exists and never seems to see much play, It even has the scry built in to it! Also, cards that give counters rather than one-use buffs.

Check out my Boros Feather deck Idea. It includes the new heroic card, Sheltering Light, Dreadhorde Arcanist, Reckless Rage, and maybe some other cards you might not think of.

If you run Jeskai, though, run Karn's Temporal Sundering.

Not necessarily in Feather, but Gird for Battle worked pretty well in the deck I had the bad luck to play against, using the creatures already mentioned.
Turn 2 - Dreadhorde Arcanist
Turn 3 - Tenth District Legionnaire, Gird for Battle, attack, re-cast Gird for Battle with the Arcanist
They're swinging with a 3/5 trample and a 6/6 and got to scry twice.
Sadly not an instant but decent value over the long term.

Cool card, dont think its strong enough to build a whole deck around it if you're looking for something competitive.
The current Boros/mono-r/mono-w decks are already bonkers and dont run cards that this would utilize, so you'd probably be best off looking at something in naya or jeskai.
Probably midrange more than aggro since you're looking to generate value from this card in the long run. You'll also be taking up card slots with these value spells rather than more creatures.
In my opinion, look for instants that give the following:
- T1: Indestructible, flying
- T2: First strike, hexproof
- T3: Trample, +x/+x

A deck around feather has its own draw engine in Defiant Strike . A good thing for boros to have.
